Admiral of Hogwarts

For the next period of time, Hugo and the shipgirls lived in this house in Tokyo. The fact is, as Nicoléme told Hugo before, he really just wanted to fulfill his last wish before his death.

At the beginning, Hugo was a little worried that the disappearance of himself and his company from the field would cause unnecessary speculation, but after Nicoléme assured that it would not have any negative impact, he felt relieved and the ship girls Lived.

In fact, when Hugo first knew that Nicoléme wanted to study ship girls, he planned to leave directly, because he would not allow his ship girls to be used as research objects by others.

It wasn't until he learned that Nicole Flamel's research was just chatting with each ship girl that he agreed to the great alchemist's approach at the request of the ship girls.

As a legendary alchemist, Nicolas Flamel tested Hugo as soon as he settled down. Because he felt that he wanted to teach Hugo something. You must know what Hugo's basic level is.

Faced with such questions, Hugo naturally went all out. Fortunately, he had already fully mastered the ancient runes from Odin, plus the knowledge of Perseverance and Salem, so he could answer these questions when faced with them.

Hugo himself cherished this opportunity very much, because his alchemy knowledge mainly came from several ship girls. Previously, the treasures and textbook contents of the Wu Cui Party had not been fully communicated with outside alchemists, so I am not very clear about my specific level.

After all, alchemy can be considered a high-end doctrine in this world, so it is very difficult to find a wizard who masters this skill.

For example, the ship girls have been in full operation in Europe for nearly two years, but the total number of alchemists they have seen cannot exceed two palms.

As the question and answer gradually deepened, Nicoléme gradually became serious. Because he found that Hugo's theory of alchemy was far beyond the level of elites of his age, and had even surpassed many alchemists who had studied for a lifetime.

Especially in terms of ancient rune alchemy, Nicoléme felt that in many places he didn't even know as much as this young man who would only be in third grade next year.

"It seems that geniuses do exist in the world." After Hugo perfectly explained his views on the relationship between soul and magic, Nicoléme said with emotion from the bottom of his heart. And this also made him change some of his previous plans.

Because through this series of questions and answers, Nicoléme discovered that Hugo's theory was extremely solid and complete, and he had even chosen his own path. In this situation, he had only learned from the alchemy masters in their fifties and sixties. Saw it on me.

But on the other hand, probably due to his young age, Hugo's practical skills are very average, and he is even said to be only slightly better than some alchemy apprentices.

"Well, you can stay with me for the next month, and the library can be opened to you. If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me." After finishing the test, Nicolas Flamel said .

"Actually, I wanted you to be my disciple at first. But now you have your own path in alchemy. So if you follow my path, it will only limit your future heights."

Nicoléme's alchemy level has now reached an almost master level, so even if he doesn't know that Ship Girl has her own unique alchemy style, he can still feel that Hugo has mastered one of his own through previous questions and answers. Alchemical system.

Compared with Nicoléme's own alchemical system, the alchemical system mastered by Hugo is obviously different. But it is also a path that can lead to the ultimate in alchemy.

Therefore, for Nicoléme, at this time, he cannot instill his knowledge into Hugo like a teacher teaching a student. Instead, he should do his best to answer his questions and help him on his own path. more stable.

"Actually, you have now mastered a very powerful alchemical path." Looking at Hugo's somewhat confused expression, Nicolas Flamel pointed this out directly to him.

"Although you may not be aware of this personally, from my perspective, the entire alchemical system you have mastered with ancient runes as its core is no less than the alchemical system I have mastered now."

"Is it so powerful?" Hugo muttered softly, grabbing his hair at the same time. Because he had never compared it before, he did not have a precise understanding of the entire set of rune knowledge.

"Yes, very powerful." Nicoléme thought for a few seconds and then said. "I think you should know that if a person can fully master the power of magic, then they can achieve whatever they wish for."

"Alchemy is actually the same as magic in this regard. It is a special method invented by people to try to master this powerful force. It can be said that they reach the same goal through different paths."

"For example, the magic stone I made before fully embodies this point. It can release powerful power, and it can also change the rules of the world on a small scale, such as making gold, and giving people a long-term lifespan.”

"And your current set of alchemy based on ancient runes also has the power to change the rules. As far as I know, the time-traveling spell invented by the British wizard actually used the power of ancient runes."

"It's incredible." After hearing what Nicole Flamel said, Hugo showed a surprised expression.

He knew the existence of the time turner, and he also knew that the core of the time turner was the hour reversal spell. But I never knew it had anything to do with ancient runes.

"Yes, ancient runes are more powerful than modern ones in terms of power, and they can even make people think of gods involuntarily." Nicoléme said seriously.

"If it weren't for the fact that this kind of magic has such high requirements on its users that it's difficult to pass on, then most of the magic today wouldn't even exist."

"What makes me happy is that I see in you the revival of this ancient magical skill-"

The two of them discussed very late that day, and through this discussion, Hugo also mastered a lot of knowledge that he had never mastered before, and at the same time he also had a better understanding of these skills.

From the moment he woke up the next morning, Hugo, accompanied by some ship girls, began to study various knowledge in the library of this house, while another group of ship girls were in the garden with Nicole Flamel. Chatted.

"Nicholas Flamel should be conducting a Turing test on everyone." That evening, Massachusetts, who had been in contact with the Admiral's network and watched all this, made an inference.

And this inference also just illustrates one thing, that is, in many things, magic and science can be said to reach the same goal by different paths.

In the next few weeks, Hugo concentrated on learning knowledge related to alchemy.

During this period of study, Hugo did not learn much new knowledge from Nicoléme. Instead, he integrated the knowledge he had mastered under his guidance and gradually formed his own alchemical knowledge system.
